Unlike, say, Google? The opposing view doesn't seem to have hurt the
popularity of Hpricot, Mongrel, Hoe, or, heck, even "Rails" itself, and
they're some of the biggest Ruby related projects out there ;-)
That said, I must admit I partly agree with you when it comes down to tools,
rather than brand names. Rails is certainly a brand, and has almost
certainly been intended to be one from very early on. Same for Hpricot and
Mongrel, I'd say. Some small library with a niche function though..? I'd say
your advice would be right for that.
Cheers,
